(NO) food for thought !!

As usual, a long hiatus and then comes this post...

All my entries till date have been rather sombre and lack the comic element which is so evident in my day to day life. Of course, most of the jokes we people share lie outside the public domain and my writing about them here would, perhaps, be deemed “blasphemous”. But I realise that I am 20 years old now and free to express what comes to my mind, especially if it sounds interesting.

By the way, the above justification is there for the perusal of my two elder sisters who form a major chunk of my readership, which also says a lot about the popularity of this blog.

Well, moving to the point. Recently, a very amusing piece of research was brought to my attention by one of my friends. A group of Japanese researchers studied certain subjects and found that people who skipped breakfast were likely to lose their virginity early.

Now, that sounds ridiculous. Of course, the researchers tried their best to give some plausible explanations. However, having the sort of wildly imaginative mind that my friends say I have, I came up with my take on this. I made hypothetical inferences and wondered about the change this could bring in the status quo.

Imagine this scenario:
Guy (using one of his favourite pick-up lines): Boy, I am starving, didn’t have any breakfast today.
Girl: Oh my god!! That is so turning me on... maybe you can have me for lunch today... ;)

Weird... Moreover, companies like Kellogg and those that make breakfast bars would be thrown out of business. “HUNGRY” would be the new “COOL”.

All this is amusing but I have my reasons to totally despise this theory. I am frightfully regular at having my breakfast and I am currently not in a position to totally disprove this theory either. Neither have my friends, who haven’t seen the face of breakfast for months together, done anything which would corroborate the study. So basically I would hate to see any truth in here. I have propounded some cause-effect misjudgement explanations to console myself but that, is for another day!!!

Ciaos! Sleep well, Eat well (or don’t, suit yourself :D)
